We are looking for Scientific Computing Expert — Mathematics PHD - $300/Approved Task candidates for a project delivered through the hiring partner.
What you'll do
- Design and build authentic computational mathematics tasks — translate mathematical and research workflows into self-contained, multi-step terminal environments, complete with datasets, equations, model definitions, constraints, and expected outputs.
- Implement expert solutions using Python, R, Julia, C/C++, Bash, or other relevant tools, covering areas such as optimization, numerical integration, differential equations, matrix computation, statistical inference, stochastic modeling, or algorithm analysis.
- Define rigorous grading criteria, including numerical accuracy, convergence, complexity, feasibility, and mathematical correctness, along with appropriate tolerances, stopping criteria, stability requirements, and reproducibility controls.
- Develop automated tests and debug issues — validate results across edge cases and alternative valid implementations, and troubleshoot problems involving floating-point precision, solver failures, conditioning, convergence, and performance.
- Document the work thoroughly, including assumptions, mathematical formulations, expected outputs, and known limitations.
What you need
- Ph.D., postdoctoral experience, or equivalent advanced technical experience in mathematics, statistics, or a closely related discipline.
- Strong programming skills in Python, R, Julia, C/C++, Bash, or another relevant language.
- Experience working in Linux or terminal-based environments.
- Experience with numerical methods, optimization, statistics, mathematical modeling, or scientific computation.
- Ability to independently implement, test, and validate computational algorithms.
Nice to have
- At least 6 hours per day commitment.
- 4-hour overlap with PST.
